I mostly agree with your assessment here, but there is still something that continues to confuse me. Allow a story.
I grew up in Gary, IN. which is nearly a suburb of Chicago. In the 60's I went to High School at the last all white high school in the city. Our class was the first to have black kids in it, about 50 or 60 in a class of nearly 600 students. They were bused in from what was the predominantly black side of the city. We had been with them since 7th grade so for us in that class it was no big deal, but their freshman year in high school was hell for them, and remember this was the mid sixties. As time went on they were mostly accepted and every class after had more black kids.
Here's the confusing part. Nearly every one of those black kids in my class did well in school, some exceptionally well. Given the circumstances one would think they'd fail. They faced real discrimination, real racism, real oppression, not the make believe crap we hear about today. I think they made it because in those classrooms they studied from the same books, were held to the same standards, there was no curve for them. Nearly every single one went to college. Many that I have kept in touch with have been successful, some very successful. They accomplished this during the 70's which was still full of discrimination on the job front. Why? Why did this generation of blacks do so well, much better that the current generation, when they fought against much greater odds and hardships? I think it's family structure, being held to account, and no excuse making leftists telling them how weak and oppressed they were. They were given opportunity and took full advantage of it.
We have fostered an environment in the subsequent years which gives rise to a weakening of our children, and that is the result of leftist ideology across the board. I've lived through it, seen it happen with my own eyes. The whole fucking country is being pussified to accommodate radical leftists.
Maybe, because blacks then, cared about their kids and their futures so, raised them up on better values than the blacks nowadays? Take note too the indoctrination of extreme liberal leftist Democrats of blacks that they are the good guys and Republicans the bad guys? History did not change that it was the Democrats who enslaved the blacks but, the extreme liberals flipped that in our schools and even today, demonize the Republicans. The only positive is more blacks nowadays are using their heads because their contacts with Republicans and Conservatives has been better than how other extreme liberal Democrats treat them nowadays. So, they ask themselves if they are missing something. More blacks are researching history and finding they have been lied to! Still, they make up a small minority of the black population. Most are still slaves in the Democrat plantation.
